What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the philosophy, science and art of all things natural, used to restore and grow a person's innate healing and wellness potential! — Dr. Barry Lieberman, Chiropractor.

Chiropractic Definition: Chiropractic is a discipline which emphasizes the restoration of the inherent potential recuperative power of the body to heal from within, without the use of drugs or surgery. To help you, chiropractors use natural methods and lifestyle modifications, while including and integrating the relationship of the spine and nervous system with all functions of your body—a natural, whole body approach.

Chiropractors start with understanding your health history to better address your needs, and may also include these non-invasive diagnostics: feeling the spine by hand, kinesiology, muscle testing, reflex, flexibility, stability, and resilience testing, to understand your specific needs. With these, a chiropractor can correctly evaluate and make the right corrections that you need. Your chiropractor can help you choose the best self care and health care choices to empower your lifestyle —instead of relying only on future crisis care and disease care management.

Chiropractors make a correction of the spine with a Chiropractic Adjustment of the spine. This can be done in many different ways, including lightly touching the spine, using a directed motion into the vertebrae (spinal bones), or even tapping on the spine with a chiropractic tapping device called an activator.

What is a Subluxation?
A "subluxation" [Sub-lux-ay`-shun] is a response by your body to when it is overwhelmed by either physical, biochemical, or emotional stress. A malfunctioning vertebra (spinal bone) is the result of that, and in itself, is associated with nerve irritation.

A subluxation (malfunctioning vertebra with associated nerve irritation) may have far-reaching effects throughout the rest of your body because the nervous system is well known as the master controlling system of the human body—reaching all of its organs and tissues. Since there is an intimate relationship between the nervous system and the spinal vertebrae, the mal-functioning spinal vertebrae negatively influences your nerves.

A subluxation (spinal malfunction) may be the result of other causes —but because it is present, it causes widespread problems and nerve irritation of its own. It must be identified and adjusted to reduce and eliminate its repercussions!

One of the primary advantages of going to a chiropractor is reducing and eliminating your "subluxations." No other type of doctor or practitioner can correct a subluxation of the spine.

Dr. Barry Lieberman, DC sets himself apart as a master, full-scope, holistic chiropractor in Beverly Hills and greater Los Angeles, with his artisan ability to identify and correct the many possible causes of your spinal subluxations—to help you get back to, and keep your wellness. Dr. Lieberman —who is not just a spine doctor or a back pain doctor— successfully reveals and corrects the most difficult component of spinal subluxations, their multiple causes!

Nerve Interference
When there is at least one subluxation present in your spine, the flow of information (energy) through your nerves gets altered, irritated, or diminished like a dim light bulb.

Irritation of your nervous system may result in a compensation effect by your body. Your body uses this compensation to survive, not to thrive. When it is In this stage your body is not at ease, (dis-ease) and is begrudgingly enduring its subluxation malfunction—a state of dysregulation for the sake of survival.

"Dysregulation of such a key system [the nervous system] is associated with disease either linked to a primary [nervous system] dysfunction or as an element in the [disease processes and expression] of complex disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, asthma, and depression." 1

In other words, uncorrected malfunction (subluxation) will unfortunately lead to disease, as stated above. Once the disease process has started and becomes established it is only a matter of time before symptoms start to show—and you would experience them when your malfunction level gets to about 60%. That's a 60% loss of function before you would feel symptoms!

Fortunately, Dr. Barry Lieberman, DC can reveal the hidden problem areas of your body, way before there is an established disease process underway. This is one of the reasons he is in Beverly Hills! Dr. Barry Lieberman, your chiropractor, will examine your spine in his Beverly Hills office, for the signs of subluxation. After your exam, he will create the best health plan for your personal needs, and give you the greatest possibility to empower your health. Contact Him Today!

Addressing the Cause, and Causes
Instead of Just Treating the Symptoms
In medical practice there are two key parts: identifying and/or naming the "disease" or syndrome, and the treatment (drugs, surgery, etc.).

Unfortunately, the word "diagnosis" is not really what we all think it is supposed to be. In today's world, a diagnosis is merely putting a name on a symptom, or group of symptoms, even without knowing anything about their causes. More often than not, the causes of any particular diagnosis are not known at all.

In conventional Medicine they may even say that the symptom is the cause! Remember, the symptom is not the cause, the symptom is the result.

In the case of Arthritis, it would be like saying that arthritis is caused by the symptoms of arthritis! That's just wrong. Aside from your chiropractor, nobody else even tries to get to the underlying causes of the symptoms! Instead, the focus, in conventional western medicine, is just on the symptoms and blocking them, or cutting them out. For Arthritis, "inflammation" is treated with anti--inflammatory drugs, regardless of the underlying causes.

A Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) can have a higher goal than just naming the symptoms: that is, the goal of achieving a true correction. That's what Dr. Lieberman does the best!

If you just want to stop the symptoms without following through and addressing the root causes of your condition, Dr. Lieberman would gladly refer you to a different doctor in Beverly Hills, who would just treat the symptoms. Then you could eventually spiral down into crisis care, as you would not be coming to our Beverly Hills office. Simply put: if you don't follow through with your health care, you won't get welll, so why start?

If instead, you are interested in addressing the underlying multiple causes of your condition, and correcting them, you are on the right track seeking Dr. Lieberman's care! Call Today!    310-282-8882

The Target Correction
Getting to the SOURCE of the PROBLEM

What is the target or goal?
If a row of dominos falls, the problem is not that the last one has fallen, but instead, why the first domino became off balance in the first place.

Correcting or reducing the causes of your problem are our goals with corrective chiropractic care.

To accomplish correction
Chiropractors make a correction with a Chiropractic Adjustment of the spine.

Your chiropractor, Dr. Llieberman, will analyze your individual needs at his Beverly Hills office, and develop a plan to help you reach your goal of correction, and keep your new level of correction. Along the way your chiropractor will check to see how your body is progressing, and that the causes of your problem, if not yet completely eliminated, are well on their way to being eliminated.

Symptoms, Relief
Symptoms can seem to disappear before the underlying causes of the problem are corrected. Symptoms are the last stage of a problem, yet the first thing to disappear under care. Although the symptoms may seem to be gone, it doesn't mean that your care is completed.

Progress
How do I know when I'm past my initial care with my chirorpactor?
There are many methods of measuring your progress. Your symptoms may disappear or return, and therefore are not a safe measuring tool for the correction of your problem.

Researchers say symptoms must be gone and not return for at least 12 months to consider a malfunctioning, or injured area as corrected,

To ensure achievement of your goal — correction of the causes of your problem — your chiropractor, Dr. Lieberman, will check you regularly at our Beverly Hills office, to see that the many systems of your body and your spine are becoming more integrated, functional, stabilized, balanced, and strong. Your chiropractor will explain to you how you will be checked, (with kinesiology for example) and you will be kept up to date on your progress. When you are balanced — free from subluxation based organ and nerve weaknesses —on several consecutive visits, Dr. Lieberman will reduce the frequency with which you see him.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Care
Some people think that after their pain or symptoms are gone they can stop care. However, you may realize that what gets you well can keep you well. To keep your wellness potential at its peak, you can decide to follow through with a regular program of lifestyle care — a wellness preservation program. The choice is yours. For optimal health, and to ensure that your wellness remains at its peak, we recommend following through with your chiropractic doctor's recommendations for your initial care, and following through with a consistent chiropractic lifestyle wellness program to keep your health & wellness.

Why Chiropractic works
Chiropractic works because you are a potentiallly self-healing, self-repairing, self-regulating organism, organized and controlled by your nervous system.

Millions of instructions flow from your brain down the spinal cord to every organ and tissue of your body. The signal sent back to the brain confirms if your body is working well. Improper mobility or position of the moving bones of the spine, called a subluxation can interfere by irritating nerves and compromising the function of affected organs and tissues. Specific chiropractic spinal adjustments can help improve mind/body communications. Health often returns with improved nervous system function and control of the body.

Studies show that patient satisfaction with their chiropractor is second to none! Many studies have proven that care with a Chiropractor is much less expensive than medical interventions.

Conclusion
Now we know why your chiropractor is not just "treating" back pain at all. Instead, your chiropractor Dr. Barry Lieberman, D.C. gives you a way to empower your health and keep your wellness. Doctor Lieberman, your chiropractor, achieves this by balancing your body systems and allowing more optimal functioning of your body.

It is far easier to keep a well body healthy than to repair a body that has been broken down. The choice is yours. Chiropractors report "miracle" cases every day, made possible by the positive influence of the chiropractic adjustment to your nervous system. Nothing compares to a Chiropractic adjustment.
